Website:

Domain Name Registrar, Email Hosting and Website Hosting:

I used Gandi to purchase my two domains, ‘stephenhersee.co.uk’ for this website, and ‘hersee.me’ which I use for my emails. I also use Gandi’s services for hosting my emails, which is provided for free with the domain purchase, and their ‘S’ simple hosting plan. To use WordPress with Gandi’s simple hosting, you need an ‘MySQL’ and PHP package.

Theme:

When creating this website, I found that the Press Customizr theme suited my needs very well. The features in the pro version are also handy as they allow for easy customisation. There is a reason this theme is rated as one of the best WordPress themes!

Allows me to setup URL redirections, for example www.stephenhersee.co.uk/twitter redirects to www.twitter.com/stephenhersee. This is a simple example, but I also use it for some Flickr albums which have horrible URLs.
